The Rug...Reinvented
While static electricity might not top your list of criteria to avoid when purchasing new carpeting, it definitely clocks in as an added bonus to ecohaus' recycled fiber carpets. The brightly colored carpets give new life to plastic soda bottles on their way to the landfill - on average, each square yard of carpeting contains polyester fiber from about 40 two-liter bottles. And, according to the National Association for Plastic Container Recovery, ecohaus' soda bottle supplier buys more recycled bottles than any other company in the U.S. I'll drink to that.
